Abstract EN

This work presents a new radar system concept, capable of detecting explosive related threats at standoff distances.

The system consists of a two-dimensional aperture of randomly distributed transmitting/receiving antenna elements and a set of passive reflecting surfaces (PRS) positioned in the vicinity of the target.

The PRS act as a mirror that enhances the field of view of the radar system, thus increasing its resolution.

A 3D imaging algorithm, based on novel compressive sensing techniques, is used in this work.

This system configuration provides a resolution of 7.1 mm in cross-range and 25 mm in range, when the target is at 10 m range, and the radar works at 60 GHz center frequency and has 6 GHz bandwidth.
